Senior US Open - Days 1 and 2

This has been a really interesting tournament so far.  The lanes have been tough, but playable, so if you make enough good shots and make your spares, you can be successful here.  I started out on B squad and there are no re-oils during the day this week.  I was able to get a comfortable play zone with an old Roto Grip Dagger between 9 on the tighter lanes to 12-13 on the more hooking lanes.  The left handers in the field have decided to camp out on 9-10-11, which is a little inside of where it would be optimal, but it allows me to figure out the pairs with more traffic in this area and jump just to the inside of it to use the friction down the lane to create a little more recovery back to the pocket.

Great tournament, fair lane condition and a great strong field!  Just need to bowl a little better tomorrow and I'll be getting some extended play on Thursday!
